Kilimanjaro

Bill Dorris

While eagles track the rising waves
and towns are laid in shallow graves
snow geese fly magnetic skies
north to arctic Kansas
While great minds search
in lost directions
the army
that final engineering profession
drills flagpoles
down
the last snows of
oil
and uptown
as King Kong swings round
the last skyline
finally


One line in above poem was triggered by reading “The military is an engineering profession” in Robert Haas’ “Bush’s War” in March/April 2006 issue of APR.
